For professional overthinkers
A few years ago, I was where you are now. I was lying awake at 3am with a busy mind. Everything felt like a problem to solve. I was stressed and stuck.
I also had a sense that I was meant for more, but I had no idea what that might be.
Since then I've gone on to make peace with my busy mind and revitalise my career. I created my one-to-one coaching to help you do the same.
I offer a unique way to get out of your head and into your life: a life with more calm, clarity and confidence.Most of my one-to-one clients are leaders and directors, but not exclusively so. Read on to discover more, and book a free clarity call to see if we're a fit.
Hello, I'm Andrew. Founder and head coach at OA. Recovering overthinker.
Testimonials
Antony Mason
Technical Operations Leader at GE Healthcare
"In a year of massive change for me personally and the business as a whole, coaching with Andrew helped keep me sane.
He supported me, challenged my mindset, and helped me develop clear insight into what I should and could be doing."
Kenny Fox
Research Director at
davies & mckerr
"I started working with Andrew when the self-critical voice in my head suddenly found a megaphone.
Andrew made me realise that these thoughts were just that, thoughts, and gave me the tools to understand them. I'm without doubt more confident in my job and life, which I put down to working with Andrew."Emily Larkin
Head of Employer Brand
at the BBC
"I've worked with Andrew previously as a writer and more recently as a coach. He's provided invaluable support to my overthinking mind, as I navigated a recent career transition and landed in a new role.
I always leave the sessions with a renewed sense of calm and connection to my instincts. I would recommend to anyone who could benefit from a regular break from a busy head, in a relaxed, grounded, and entirely non-judgemental space."
Chloe Fowler
Founder at The Nest Research
"I started working with Andrew as I made the decision to step down from owning a successful research agency and go it alone.
My sessions were so helpful. Andrew shifted his style to suit my needs – from coach, to mentor, to creative collaborator, to cheerleader, to kind critic. I've gone from being clueless to having a brand, a vision, a website, a strategy. Ultimately, he's helped with the thing I needed to discover the most – my story."
Sanjay Mitra
Corporate Partnerships Manager
at Speech and Language UK
"I can wholeheartedly say that I feel much better equipped to meet my work challenges, and more confident in meetings and presentations. I am now finding ways to bring more of my authentic voice to the table."
Tom Anderson
Managing Partner at davies & mckerr
"After a successful, but frantic few years, and facing a major moment in my career, I got in touch with Andrew with the aim of trying to avoid burning out.
Our conversations together were far more wide ranging. Andrew helped me reframe the way I viewed work, allowing me to identify what is actually important and re-find my excitement for the work I do."
Credentials
I'm a highly experienced leadership & personal coach, speaker and author.
Over the past seven years, I've coached clients in senior roles in organisations such as GE Healthcare, John Lewis, HSBC, Viatris, Roche, as well as a range of creative, insight and design agencies.
Before becoming a coach, I had a wide-ranging career. This included scriptwriting in Hollywood and stand up comedy, as well as many years as an advertising copywriter and creative leader.
For me, coaching isn't a game of coach and client. It's about two or more people having an honest conversation. A collaboration of equals. As a thinking partner, my main strength is to help you see beyond the blinkers of your own mind. From this new perspective, you have the chance to connect with your heart's desires and feel a greater sense of well-being in your life.
Qualifications include: MSc Psychology (Distinction), PG Certificate in Business and Personal Coaching, BSc Health Studies, plus membership of the International Coaching Federation.
Coaching is about shifts. Here are some you can expect in our work together.
